[Building Sakai] Anyone running headless OO.org in production or pilot?

[Nate Angell]

I'm no help on your OO question, but your use case reminds me of
another I just encountered that you might want to consider also—maybe
Assignments2 is already thinking about this.

When grading multiple inline submissions, instructors would like to
see side-by-side versions with highlighted diffs. The over-under
versions without diffs in Assignments now make comparison more
difficult.

Happy to write up as a Jira if it makes sense.
